Some of you know I was offline for a bit this week for surgery. What you didn’t know (and what I didn’t know until about 2 hours ago) is that the surgery has uncovered cancer.

I’m intentionally using “c” cancer and not “C” Cancer because 6 months ago the biopsies I had done were pre-cancerous with no sign of cancer proper.

So, whatever it is, it developed in the last 6 months and I take that as a good sign.

From here I need to focus on doing what the docs tell me to do starting with blood tests tomorrow, then we’re doing genetic stuff and a CT scan, that will tell us the official “stage” of the cancer.

My plan is to come back, but it won’t be immediate and I don’t (yet) have any sort of timeline. My ideas are probably more aggressive than the doctors and insurance will allow. 😉

So I’m planning on the worst, doing paperwork, advanced directives, all the stuff you don’t usually have to think about. Then we’ll see where it goes.

I wish Lemmy all the luck in the world!
